Hello, sorry for not write in italian language, this is my first post and a Slackware user.

I downloaded Slacky ISO a few days and did the full install 2 times because I have the same problem (I resolved the polkituser bug , thanks ), when Gnome starts, gnome-power-manager show an error balloon, and another error from the mail client (in spanish)

In KDE4 the analog channel has been disabled and i can only use digital (maybe permissions problem, when uninstall GSlaky this bug disappears), I use a kernel 2.26.28 (compiled by me and downloaded from kernel.org)

I did wait for a few days but nobody asks, maybe the problem is my PC.

I'm running neither slackware nor gslacky but...1) have you tried a root session? test the environment as root with all privileges enabled and look at effects. if everything goes right it's a permission issue2) did you enable acpi and cpufreq governor in your kernel? did you load related modules at start up? without a correct kernel support you cannot run any gui power manager utility!

for what concerns the second issue: I don't know... maybe a missing theme?

imho,M

Yes, the root session has the same problem, ACPI and cpufreq gvernor are enabled in my kernel.

Your GSlacky setup is an upgrade or a fresh install on Slackware 12.2?

Is a fresh install, I upgraded to Slackware 12.2 some days after his launch, but I didn't install any GSlacky version until now.

Your console report an error about gconf and "Murrine". This package "Murrine" is not a part of GSlacky distro. It's a Gtk+ Theme. If you have installed it, maybe something is wrong in your setup. Try to reinstall the Gnome-power-manager package.You can find it in /packages/desktop on GSlacky iso.

OK, I don't what to stress the topic too much but... have you also _loaded_ modules at start up?

if you have a blue screen and gnome seems borken:1- backup your config directory, it should be something like ~/.gnome or ~/.gnome2, 2- delete it and 3- restart a fresh session without any previous setting!

maybe gohanz can help with a complete list of hidden config directories: I'm not sure that ~/.gnome is the only thing you have to backup and delete... maybe there are also some gtk+ related directories

wooo !!! you have won the first prize for the longest error report mmm... ok let me say that it seems you have twisted things a lot! don't worry I've done something really worse in the past I can't understand/guess/figure out reasons of a such complex report so you can wait for another gohanz answer. btw: you have written you have upgraded to cairo 1.6.4 was it a typo for 1.8.6?!

additionally: you have removed gtk hidden dir. but it is possible that other apps use it! nonetheless, I think you can reset everything by:

1- re-delete all gnome hidden dirs.2- reinstall gnome by hand (the installer _is_ ok but it seems there are some issues at a low level in your system) by mounting the iso as explained in the gslacky page and running something like (just guessed not tested):

I reinstall with your sugestted way, I deleted .gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gconf and .gconfd but I get the same error , curiously, I see that cairo downgraded again (and other packages) so after I upgraded manually all GSlacky ISO packages.
